'Axiom Verge' confirmed for Switch

THOMAS HAPP GAMES

In addition to Wii U, PS4, and Vita, Thomas Happ Games' upcoming metrovania-styled title, Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition, will now also be coming out on Nintendo Switch.

Published by Badland Games, Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition will include a bunch of in-box content including a specially commissioned and exclusive 2 Player Productions documentary about Thomas Happ and the making of Axiom Verge. The Multiverse Edition will also feature a copy of the game and a deluxe booklet with developer commentary and art, along with a double-sided poster. Those who preorder the game will also get a CD soundtrack as well.

"People often asked me about the early days of Axiom Verge – about how I was able to make a game completely on my own over the course of five years of evenings and weekends while holding down a full time job," says developer Thomas Happ. "The long-form documentary format really made it possible for me to take the time and explain that process as well as go into some detail about the difficulties of balancing work and family responsibilities."

Axiom Verge: Multiverse Edition will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch in August 2017. The game is rated "T for Teen" by the ESRB.
